Biography
Sayf ad-Din Taynal an-Nasiri al-Ashrafi was a mamluk in the service of Sultan an-Nasir Muhammad, and on 9 May 1326 he replaced Qaratay as governor of Tripoli under the orders of Viceroy of Syria Tankiz. However, he was sent to Gaza by Tankiz after Taynal disagreed with some of his policies, but by 1335 relations had warmed and Taynal was sent back to Tripoli. Ibn Battuta wrote of the lavish convoys that Taynal sent out of Tripoli, and Taynal built a mosque named for himself in 1336. Tankiz's deposition in 1340 led to Taynal also being deposed, and he was reappointed a third time in 1341. He died in Damascus in 1343.
